Made this for my little happy conbook, cuz I do that every year, and wasn't originally intending to post here, but I was convinced otherwise
Background's not quite what it was last year, and no bio this time (it's pretty much the same, though) but at least the anatomy looks better
GO FATTY GO!

Looks very good =)
He's looking more and more like the real you every time. XD
We know we've been playing TF2 a little too much, don't we? xD
You. Me. If my pals and I get back into TF2, I will show you how retarded we can be. xD
but can I get the permition to make those pants? I'm at highschool as a clothes maker student, is that ok?
it's gonna take some time before it's done, but I think I will be done with it over the summer
and now for something completely different...a bad, silly joke
"Stop! Tiger time!"
Miran: Dang!...he's taller than me by two inches.....Cool :D
Just kidding, I love it of course, I just wanted to post something that would stand out! D:
Yeah, this one looks better.
The other one had his head too tiny >:U
or maybe body too big.
whatever, b :v d looks awesome
Great character btw!
legs
legs
omigod legs
Instead of skates, can have wheels or mattracks.( http://www.mattracks.com/html/latest_news.htm )
Interesting...
Actually, i don't think i'll even need reminding. . .
Awesome hammer, and the bionic legs are pretty cool too!
amazing attention to detail, interesting style, and overall simple awesomeness.
For instance, the eagle pendant, the cuffs, the bionic legs, while expertly rendered artistically, reflect a well-rounded nature to the character. In addition to aesthetic positives concerning these items, Strype is made more substantial by these subtle accessories. Perhaps the pendant reminds him of something/someone special. Mayhaps the cuffs represent the character's feelings towards authority. Are the legs a reminder of personal sacrifice or serious pangs the character has suffered through?
Of course, all this could be pretense. Perhaps your reasons for accessorizing Strype so is to make him look rather dashing and nothing more. Regardless, I've always enjoyed not only the visual aspects of your art but marveled at how lifelike and whole they seem to be.
You lately stated that your artwork lacked "heart". It's true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But let it be said that your work most certainly possesses heart and soul. It might be a broken heart, yes. But as I see it, it is well on its way to repair.
The cuffs were initially aesthetic, cuz I thought they'd look cool, but now he sees them as a representation of self-control. His impulsiveness has gotten him into some deep shit before, so this is a reminder of him to remain restrained and patient.
And the legs, well, I put them on there as I thought they'd be cool and I hate my own feet for their various problems. I'd totally replace my own with better robotic ones if I had a chance. To the character, though, they represent a lesson, when a lapse in his awareness caused him to be in the sights of a hovertank when it fired, and the railgun took off his feet as he leapt for cover. Initially, to him it was a penance for screwing up, but now he considers them a boon, as he can quickly swap them out, and constantly improve them or use different types for different situations. This has also given him a bit of philosophical insight, as now he often views setbacks and tragedy as opportunity
So yeah...
Each of those things tells a story about the character and are symbols, if not allegories, of his attributes. Like you said, the phoenix rising from the ashes represents his persistent and determined nature (at least, that's the conclusion I hope you were trying to convey). In reality, its this trait that makes you one of my favorite artists. Although drawing things to "look cool" is nice, you seem to take it one or two steps further by making characters both physically and emotionally unique.
Stay golden, Strype. I am sure I speak for many when I say we await your future works with great anticipation.
Badass...
BWAHAHAHA! testicles for chest hair?!
Manly chestbumps are out of the question!:D
But yeah... compared to my cheetah character, this guy's a beast. Daytona may be 6' 5", but he weights only 170 lbs XD
and i hate blunt weapons <.<
I dig the Daybreaker, too! You look like HEVVY WEPPINS TIGUR. c:
Great job, man :D
On the other and, how much did this cost to the armor division to make some new gear for you to fit in?
and I didn't see anyone post about it o.0 unless I'm blind...I admit I only skimmed xD;
Do you do RP fights? I'd love to try my hand against you >:)
Reading more on this, it looks like the idea I had for my good friend and brother
I'll send ya more info in a note, if you'd like.
Still looks a bit out of proportion. "Giants" in the real world have heads that match their bodies.
I'm curious about the pendant on the end of the handle of the hammer, though. Is that a roaring tiger's face?
"Uplifted"? Do you happen to be a fan of any of David Brin's books?
you have no choice in this matter
Big, muscular characters usually have big heads.. you can make the rest of your body bigger, but your head cant get any bigger xD
But, yeah, like I said. Proportional.
Explains the beer pooch, too. o.o *pokes* Alky. :D
NO HUGS FOR JOO! XD
But I did bring you lunch. *rolls in a few corpses from a morgue* Crack open a cold one, good sir! ^_^
Great picture as always. Wish I had money to commission a ref sheet from you.
Stop Hammer Time!!! Great artwork is the least I can say... and the above nonsense.
But you have a great mind on all this military and science-fiction weapons'n'stuff.
And it also looks like it may weigh alot.
I am into military work and stuff like this myself, I never upload anything because my drawings and designs are way to big to be uploaded (too big in MB's).
But I am vary into Tanks at the most, I could suggest for you a drawing, not me, or not for me. If you are into Sci-Fi then the tank called the MARV (google C&C MARV) is really good for this, I think from after seeing all this work, its a thing that you may like.
Oh, your hammer looks very dangerous.. I do not want to get in the way of that..
But great work you got, I look forward to seeing more.
Good day.
with his super hammer.
*points to the belly* You should drink less beer!
Reading all the many things that he has, just blew me away.
Jeez, this dude aint someone to screw with.. he'll kill your ass xD
btw, some time, ive been thinking of commissioning a character sheet from ya. and its gonna be a doosy. the two hardest parts of my character are his weapon of choice and the energy aura that surrounds him. Saying that he is a 5 species hybrid should give an idea of how difficult of a project it would be. Hopefully ill get around to reading the journals so Ill know when you open commissions.
Dude. You are badass beyond belief.
Please, do not insult me
Or, as my boss would put it: sturdy, but sexy!
also the back of that hammer looks nasty.
yust look at this:
Species: Homo Sapiens Sapiens (+add. organs)
Height: 8ft.
weight: at least 700lbs
Argumentations:
-Secondary Heart
-Ossmodula (bones absorb ceramic based elements, to streinghten the bone)
-Biscopea (super muscle gowth)
-Haemastamen (more effective blood)
-Larraman Organ (wounds heal and form scars almost immedieatly)
-Catalepsean Node (2 weeks withought sleep, and still sharp and battle ready)
-Preomnor (eating unnatural substances)
-Omophagea (gather data about what youre eating)
-Multi-lung (+1 lung wing)
-Occulobe (better eyesight, see in dark)
-Lyman's Ear (better hearing, explosions do not cause ringing in ears anymore)
-Sus-an Membrane (suspended animation)
-Melanochrome, or Melanochromic Organ(supper tanning whe exposed to sun)
-Oolitic Kidney (blood filtering)
-Neuroglottis (lick suff to see if its poison)
-Mucranoid (sweat protects from temperature, and short time vaccum)
-Betchers Gland (spit corrosive material)
-Black Carapace (allows body to armour, connection and control)
To see how the argumented body looks: http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40.....pGibbering.jpg
He's straight, ain't he? I almost always seem to get the hots for the straight ones...
TAT
*Foxy goes to cry in the corner*
The hottest ones are straight, I swear. And it ain't just because you're not available, because I've had major crush-hot-obsessions with guys for weeks before finding out they're straight....
*Pouts*
You're still hot..... and so is your art.
